Storage size on instance servers (midwest.social)

I recently had to expand my instance's storage size from 25 GB to 50 GB because it was out of space. How much storage do you all use for your instances? I'm a little surprised that it ran out of space as my instance isn't heavily used.

Am I doing something wrong? I prune all the unused docker images, so it's not that.

I do

  • remove pictrs temp files /tmp/magick-*
  • recompress overly large image files
  • truncate docker logs which frees up a lot of space

recompress overly large image files

When I was looking at some very old posts from feddit.de they had terrible jpg compression artifacts, is this the reason?
